“Kelly our guide was fantastic really sharing lots of stories with us and great info. Really enjoyed this tour. The food was fantastic and a great way to try so many different dishes I wouldn’t try otherwise. My favourite was the sweet pancake and the egg & bacon pancake. So fascinating to walk through the Hutongs and sample food. Only comment- a lot of ‘sweet’ red bean paste desserts at one time. This combo could be improved and perhaps tour to include a drink. However overall very good and really enjoyed. Would recommend Kelly in particular. Meeting place was a little confusing- Station B but maps link suggested the Museum.…”
